Types of Work Permist We Assiist With
1. Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP):
Graduates from eligible Canadian institutions can apply for a PGWP, allowing them to live and work in Canada for up to three years. This work experience can be a stepping stone to obtaining permanent residency through programs like Express Entry.
2. Employer-Specific Work Permit:
This permit is tied to a specific employer in Canada, allowing you to work for that employer under certain conditions. We assist you in securing a job offer and navigating the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process if required.
3. Open Work Permit:
Unlike employer-specific permits, open work permits allow you to work for any employer in Canada. These are often available to spouses of international students or skilled workers, providing them with the flexibility to work in various industries across the country.
4. Intra-Company Transfers:
If you’re an employee of a multinational company with operations in Canada, you may be eligible for an intra-company transfer, allowing you to work in Canada without the need for an LMIA.
5. Special Work Permits for Specific Occupations:
Canada offers special work permits for certain categories of workers, including caregivers, business professionals, and agricultural workers. We can guide you through the specific requirements for these permits to ensure you meet all the criteria.
Study Permit Application
Securing a study permit is a critical step in your journey. We guide you through the entire process, ensuring that your application meets all requirements, and help you gather the necessary documents to increase your chances of approval.
How to Apply for a Work Permit
If you are not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, you need a work permit to work legally in Canada. The application process typically involves the following steps:
Job Offer from a Canadian Employer:
To apply for a work permit, you generally need a job offer or letter from a Canadian employer. This job offer is a crucial part of your application and must meet specific criteria.Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA):
In most cases, your employer must apply for an LMIA from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). The ESDC will assess whether hiring a foreign worker is necessary and if it will have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian job market.Work Permit Application:
Once the LMIA is approved (if required), you can apply for a work permit through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or a Canadian visa office before you arrive in Canada.
